"The Godfather Of Soul
JAMES BROWN (1933-2006)
We here at BB King's are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of James Brown, who was scheduled to play here on New Year's Eve. Throughout the last six years he performed many magical, soulful shows on our stage. We will miss him dearly. Thank you for the dynamite music and may your funky soul live on forever! We Love You + God Bless"


"JAMES BROWN was to appear at BB King's on New Year's Eve. We have been extremely blessed to have had the opportunity to work with The Godfather Of Soul. We will always keep his spirit alive at BB's. So now, in loving memory of Soul Brother No. 1, we are now honored to present the "Reigning Queen Of Soul" on New Year's Eve...CHAKA KHAN!!!

Chaka Khan is one of the reigning queens of Soul with eight Grammy Awards. From funky R&B hits with RUFUS: "Tell Me Something Good," "Sweet Thing," "Do You Love What You Feel?," "Ain't Nobody," "Once You Get Started" and solo smash hits such as "I'm Every Woman" + “I Feel For You” through her Grammy-winning duets with Ray Charles, Prince and The Funk Brothers"

So did I, was kind of surprised when they wrote that, but she is one of the Queens of Soul anyway, I'm sure 'retha won't mind her having that title for the night.

Ok, so I just heard this will be a tribute show for James Brown on New Year's Eve with special guests as well.
